Magnesium is being touted as a powerful solution to anxiety, depression, insomnia, memory problems, and attention span. But is the hype realistic?

Dr. Jennifer Gu is a researcher who studies how Magnesium affects the brain and the body. She explains why so many people are magnesium deficient, how adding a supplement could benefit you, and why Magtein may be a better option than a general magnesium supplement.

Here are a few things she discusses:

How magnesium can help improve cognitive function, attention, and memory.

Why Magtein, a specific type of magnesium supplement, can have positive effects on mental health.

How magnesium can improve sleep quality and reduce restlessness at night.

How magnesium supplements can reduce anxiety, improve mood, and increase concentration.

Why magnesium may have potential benefits for conditions such as Alzheimer's and ADHD.
